Five high-schoolers get pulled into a supernatural mystery involving the death of a local teen three decades earlier in a series based on the bestselling YA books.
, two characters take a beat to reflect on everything they’ve been through. “You know, our parents are sleeping together, there’s a ghost kind of haunting us, and I’m vomiting up worms, and now we’re having like a sleepover or something,” one says. “Yeah, throw in a long-lost sibling and a rich grandmother and you’ve got a soap opera on your hands,” the other cracks.
The fourth chapter, “Go Eat Worms,” is every bit as disgusting as you’d expect from that title: Lucas , previously introduced as a-inspired showoff, ingests a bunch of wrigglers that render him impervious to pain before turning on him and trying to destroy him. The narrative logic of the premise is plainly shaky — even Lucas’ mom Nora , who knows far more than she’s letting on about these bizarre events, can only shrug when asked to explain the rampaging worm monster.
Unfortunately, the teen-soap elements are never given the time or attention they’d require to win a viewer’s full investment. They’re more like doodles in the margins of the main story, which, as the season progresses, grows more and more unwieldy. While the kids try to get to the bottom of the eerie goings-on at Port Lawrence, their parents are wrapped up in their own frantic efforts to deny, then cover up, their roles in the tragedy that started it all.
